This requires ADGenICam R1-7 or later because that contains the code to handle the left-shift option.
* Replaced the LeftShift record with ShiftDir and ShiftBits.
ShiftDir selects the direction in which to shift UInt16 data. Choices are None, Left, and Right.
ShiftBits controls the number of bits to shift. Choices are 1-8.
ShiftBits controls the number of bits to shift. Choices are 1-8. This record is not used if ShiftDir=None.
This change allows complete control over how to shift Mono10, Mono12, and Mono16 pixel formats.
For example, FLIR cameras always left-shift Mono16 PixelFormat data so the most-significant bit
is in bit 15, and the data range is 0-65535, even if the ADC is only 10 or 12 bits.
In some cases it may be preferable to right-shift this data so that it only spans the
actual range of the ADC.
In the case of a 12-bit ADC this would be done with ShiftDir=Right and ShiftBits=4.
The data will then span the range 0-4095.
Note that when decompressing Mono12Packed and Mono12p data the ConvertPixelFormat
record selects whether or not to shift the data, so the ShiftDir record would normally
be set to None for those pixel formats.
